Class of 2023 Celebrates Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation

On June 8, the Eighth Grade students of Villa Maria Academy celebrated their Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation in the Villa Maria House of Studies’ Sacred Heart Chapel.

Rev. John Joseph Novielli, O. Praem, of Daylesford Abbey was the celebrant of the Mass, and fondly recalled the girls in their younger years here at Villa during his homily.

After the service, Sister Susan Joseph, IHM, Principal of Villa Maria Academy and Sister Patricia Scanlon, IHM, Assistant Principal, presented diplomas to the members of the Class of 2023. Awards for honors were also distributed following the diplomas.

Congratulations to our 8th grade! May your faith and the lessons learned at Villa help you on the way to the fulfillment of your dreams.

Thank you to our Villa alumnae that came back to present their sisters with their diploma during the graduation ceremony – a special Villa tradition.

And thank you to the “little sisters” that came to see their eighth grade “big sisters” graduate.
